                          Packaged Application Software Solution

             DESCRIPTION

             ZAP is an idle process monitor utility used to remove inactive
             processes/users from the system for security and resource reasons.

             Each process can have its own idle time limit, from 1 to an
             unlimited number of minutes. The warning messages sent to users
             are customizable; the timing of the broadcasts can also be set.

             ZAP fully supports ALL-IN-1, DECmail, and any other layered
             product that uses subprocesses. ZAP also creates a history file,
             which contains the names of all the users removed from the system.

             Features

             ZAP can be used to remove inactive processes on the basis of many
             different criteria. Each process is monitored according to the
             following:

              o User Identification Code (UIC)

              o Image name

              o Terminal name/type

             Known Limitations

             ZAP does not support DECwindows.
